Room was spotless and had everything we needed. Beautiful spot right on the beach. Rooms have a perfect beach view, quick direct access to the beach, great restaurants right next door and across the street, and an easy bike ride to most restaurants in wrightsville beach.

Sandpeddler Inn & Suites
Place was great. I would give 5 stars but AC wasn’t working. Luckily nights were cool so we left the balcony door open. To be fair, we didn’t say anything to the staff until we left but I would ask the staff before booking if this has been fixed. Otherwise, place was perfect

DoubleTree by Hilton Wilmington, NC
The room was clean except for the coffee maker in the room. It had clearly been used but not been cleaned. There was dust & coffee in the part where you add the water & just not useable. Need to clean these if they’re offered in the rooms.
